Orb flying sporadically a few hundred yards off of our cruise ship.

There was 3 of us on the top deck of our cruise ship when we noticed an orb flying pretty close to our ship. It definitely was not a reflection of the cruise ship and it never touched the water for the 20-30 minutes we watched it. We asked crew members cleaning the deck if they had any idea but they were dumbfounded. It looked like it was patrolling or scanning the surface.
